Fire protection system design

Fire protection design is the planning and engineering behind sprinkler, fire alarm and other systems. Designers lay out the system, size the pipe and equipment, run hydraulic calculations for sprinklers and prepare the drawings that are submitted for permit approval.

Sprinkler systems are typically designed to NFPA 13, 13R or 13D depending on the building, and fire alarm systems to NFPA 72 in the US or CAN/ULC standards in Canada. Many jurisdictions require the designer to hold a specific licence or qualification, so check the requirements in your area.

Ask whether the designer will also handle permit submissions and revisions requested by the fire department, which can save time on busy projects.

Early design input can save money on construction projects by catching water supply, layout and code issues before work starts. Compare companies that offer fire protection design above, and check each profile for the systems they design, the property types they work on and their licences.
